WHITTLESEA: $60,000 pay drop for Craig Lloyd?
The departing City of Whittlesea CEO Craig Llloyd appears to have opted for a pay drop of at least $60,000 per year in his impending move to Western Australia, 3300 kilometres away.
Craig Lloyd’s annual Whittlesea package was listed as $500,000-$509,999 in 2024-25.
The Chief Executive Officer for the City of Joondalup is paid a total reward package ranging from $288,727 to $439,682 per annum, set under WA legislation.
In then past few years, Mr Lloyd has been employed for relatively short stints at municipalities including Bendigo, Murrindindi, Whittlesea and now Joondallup (WA). He has also had a ‘side hustle’ as a country music performer.
